Fleet

GoAir (IATA code G8, ICAO GOW) was India's low-cost airline that operated from 2005 until its closure in May 2023. Originally founded as a budget carrier, the airline rebranded to Go First in May 2021 before ceasing all operations on 3 May 2023 and subsequently filing for insolvency. Wholly owned by the Wadia Group, GoAir was headquartered in Mumbai.

The airline's primary hub was Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, with a secondary hub at Delhi. GoAir operated a single-aircraft-type fleet of Airbus A320 narrowbody jets, configured entirely in economy seating. This standardized fleet approach enabled simpler operations and crew training across its network.

GoAir served both domestic Indian routes and select international destinations, positioning itself as a cost-conscious option for price-sensitive travelers. The all-economy A320 configuration reflected the airline's low-cost business model. Passengers should be aware that the airline is no longer operational; this information is provided for historical reference only.
